Our private & heated saltwater infinity pool and spa are ideal for watching the sunset and star gazing. @AOLANIHOUSE

**Our property is incredibly unique and tropical. Authentic Hawaii living, our property hosts the occasional tropical visitor. You could come across chickens, pheasants, roosters, and coqui frogs during your stay. Although we maintain our property with pest control, we ask that our guests do their part by keeping the house crumb-free. Although there is no AC in the main house (like most of Hawaii), it isn't needed. Our higher elevation and place on the mountain provide refreshing cross breezes 24 hours a day. You might even want to wear a sweater in the evening.

Should you like to have the pool heated during your stay, please give advance notice upon arrival. We charge this fee to conserve energy for unnecessary heating. Resources are extremely limited and costly on the Big Island; this fee helps our guests be conscious of their energy consumption.
**If your stay is ten days or longer, we will require a mid-week clean. The fee for this is $185. The same cost will be added to your checkout cleaning if you decline the mid-stay cleaning.
**Traveling with Little Ones? No Problem. However, please note that our home and property are not childproofed. If you are traveling with children, we do require you to keep a close eye on them at all times, and they are never left unattended. Our pool does not have a gate or security monitoring system, so it is of utmost importance that children are supervised. We are happy to provide flexible sleeping arrangements for additional children on your reservation. Please get in touch with our host with any questions.
Need baby gear during your stay? Inquire how to reserve all the baby equipment you need to make your stay feel more like home.

We spent a week here in August 2023 with a group of eight. The house is exactly as depicted in the photos. It is beautiful, well appointed and included all necessities from kitchen to bath to beach. The layout worked well with each bedroom having its own private bath & shower. All bedrooms included king size bed for two, no sleeping on foldouts or futons here. There are two primary structures; the main house and a breezeway attached two-story building that included one of the four bedrooms up top, with its own balcony, and a first floor workout/bonus space. There is a third structure on the property a separate cottage also available for rent. The cottage was empty during our stay but I would imagine voices from the back deck would be noticeable. While the home is beautifully constructed and furnished we spent almost all of our time on the back deck and pool area. The view and space are stunning. This house is located about 30 minutes south of the KOA airport in a well established up-hill neighborhood. This is not a walkable neighborhood nor is there anything nearby you would want to walk to. That said, this house and grounds are the attraction. Note Google Maps will point you to the neighbor's house just to the south. The Aolani House entrance is two driveways north and covered by tree foliage in satellite images. Directions provided by property manager were spot-on.

As the pics show, the property is absolutely beautiful and the views are unmatched! The indoor/outdoor living of the home is so peaceful. The house is well appointed with all the things you need to settle in for a wonderful vacation. From the serene Infiniti pool to the outdoor shower to the Jura espresso machine and the Peloton bike, the amenities are top notch. The art work adorning the house adds to the luxe feeling of the overall property. There is also a full supply of beach chairs and toys to make the trips to the beach easy. The property manager, Heather, was very helpful and quick to respond. Her recommendations for food and activities were fantastic! The following information is not a review but info about the property I would have found helpful. The main house unit has 2 bedrooms inside, the master suite upstairs and another en suite bedroom down stairs. There is another bedroom which is a part of the main building, but you do have to walk outside to enter into that bedroom. The home is meant to be indoor/outdoor living and this is not really a big issue. However, if you have young kids, this might be important information. There is also a separate building with another master suite and balcony upstairs and the office/gym downstairs. This property was amazing.

We were a family of 6 adults staying at the Aolina House. The house accommodated us well. The Aolina has no AC, but it was comfortable with the windows and doors open 24/7. The kitchen is well stocked with cookery for preparing meals. We enjoyed the view and sunsets from the infinity pool and outdoor dining area. The location worked great for us as a central hub for hiking, fishing and snorkeling.

My family of 7 stayed here and could not have been happier ! The house is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Beds were comfortable, living room couch is like sitting on a cloud, kitchen has quality cookware, appliances, spices and bakeware The bathrooms were stocked with toiletries and the outdoor grill area has everything you need to cookout. The large seating area on the lanai is a perfect place to watch birds playing at the edge of the infinity pool and see the most stunning sunsets overlooking the ocean. The view is breathtaking . Words can not do it justice. Truly paradise. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Our group of 8 vacationed at the Aolani house for 8 days and truly had the best experience of a lifetime. The house is everything like the photos and even more breathtaking in person. Heather and her team were attentive and extremely responsive and helpful with arranging our excursions. We highly recommend booking Chef Justin through Heather. That was the highlight of everyone’s trip! You know you booked the best place in paradise when you were looking forward to going back to the Aolani House after every excursion! I cannot say enough great things about our stay… 11/10 recommend anyone thinking about staying at the Aolani House. You will want to return even before you leave !
